See Me--An Avengers Fanfiction

Chapter 7

After her birthday thing had been...better. Her overall relationship with Tony had gotten immensely better.

Right now, she was at work and her and Darren were setting up. She was just turning on her microphone when Darren called her back for warmups.

Clint's POV

The Avenger's had decided they wanted to go out and that was exactly what they were doing. Everyone was going including Harley. Imrie was at work or something. He didn't know and frankly he didn't care. And Pepper was at home, and Sam and Wanda were on a mission.

They were going to some club that was family friendly and kind of just ignored celebrities that came in. Apparently, every Friday two singer sang, and they were reportedly incredible.

When they got there, they took their seats in the back and waited as the lights went dark.

Two teens were whispering beside them.

"Hey you two. What's the deal with these singers?" Tony asked.

They didn't even seem to be phased by the fact that Iron Man was literally talking to them.

The girls face broke out into a huge smile.

"You haven't heard? They're like some of the best singers we've ever heard," she practically gushed. "The girl is incredible and shows so much feeling in her singing, she's going to go into musical theatre. And the guy is her boyfriend, he's more into filmmaking but he's still incredible. She's been working her for about a year and five months and he's been working here for about a year and three. They hated each other when he first came but they started dating about a month after that."

Tony nodded at that, then the voices quieted, and a spotlight lit up the stage.

To say they were surprised when a dressed up Imrie came on the stage was an understatement. A boy followed soon after who they assumed was her boyfriend. His name was Darren, right?

They stood back to back.

"I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true, la la la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for you

Land in Miami..."

After they sang, they came back to the middle to address the audience.

"Hey everybody!" Imrie announced. "I'm Imrie and this is my partner and boyfriend Darren. I've been here for about a year and a half and Darren a little over a year. Whether you've seen one of us on YouTube or social media or even heard from a friend, were glad to have you here to hear us sing tonight. We sing here on Friday's from nine to eleven."

The teens next to them turned to talk to them again.

"They get seventy percent of the earnings on Fridays since they bring most people here tonight anyways, and they get that plus the eight dollars an hour."

When they turned to look at the stage it was only Imrie there. She didn't seem to notice they were there. This was her job?

"Looking at me through your window
Boy, you had your eye out for a little
"I'll cut you up and make you dinner
You've reached the end, you are the winner"

Rolling down your tinted window..."

She finished the song and the two singers continued singing for the remainder of the night. They sang songs like Little Do You Know, Waves (Darren), The Village (Darren), I See the Light, I Won't Say I'm In Love, Sinners, Way Down We go (Darren). And many more.

They were right in the middle of Love is an Open Door when the door was kicked open and gunshots rang out.

Imrie's POV

When the people invading opened for Imrie got ready to step into action.

But as she turned to one of the many men invading a shot rang out.

Ugh not again. But a body was suddenly in front of hers, Darren.

He fell to the ground and Imrie sank to her knees beside him. It was near his heart and he looked pale and sickly. No, not him.

"Darren?! Darren you wake up right now you hear me?"

A hand was on her back and she lit up her hand, turning to smite whoever was there to attack her. But it was Bucky.

What the hell were the Avengers doing here.

"Someone called 911. They're on their way. But can Bruce take a look at him until they get here?" Bucky asked gently. She shakily nodded and he pulled her away while Bruce knelt at his side, the other Avengers seemed to be rounding up the last of the criminals and were making sure everyone was alright while the police and emergency services made their way there.

She looked at her hands that were covered in Darren's blood and let out a whimper. Bucky pulled her into a hug not caring that her hands were covered in blood. She trembled in his grasp and her knees buckled as sobs overtook her. Bucky lowered them to the ground, and she curled up into his side. They had gotten so much closer and if her nightmares got too bad, she always went to him. He understood nightmares from his Winter Soldier days, and she was still trying to work up the courage to tell Sam. So, she was content to hold onto him as tightly as she needed and not embarrassed about her tears staining his shirt. By now he was used to it. Even her powers had responded positively to him and they barley burned him when she got upset. It was like as she started to trust him so did her powers.

She didn't even register being handed over to Steve as Bucky went to ride in the ambulance with Darren, Bruce followed. She trusted them to keep Darren safe.

Steve lifted her gently and carefully into his arms. And then they were in the car and headed back to the tower.

When Imrie woke up her head was laying on someone's lap while nimble hands stroked her hair. She realized it was Natasha.

She must have realized Imrie woke up because she whispered quietly to her, "Darren will be alright. Sleep милая."

And she did.
